Short URL: https://www.yugatech.com/go/lca8

GCash and PayPal 100 form a partnership to streamline freelancer payments in the Philippines.

Freelancers can now cash in their earnings via the GCash app after going through multinational online payment giant PayPal.

With this partnership between the financial technology companies, streamlining fund transfers have been set to ease remote work compensation.

According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology, there are approximately four million freelancers in the Philippines.

Among the many digital nomads, 59% have identified their occupation as virtual assistants. These remote workers possess a wide array of skills ranging from data entry, social media management, and video editing.

We have yet to see what’s in store to further streamline the transactions between the two companies. However, we’ll be sure to let our readers know of any further developments in the future.

But how do you guys feel about this partnership between GCash and PayPal? Will it be better for our remote workers? Let us know in the comments below!

Communication graduate, closet cynic, and kid at heart. Duane is a rare person to find, quite literally. He often takes to himself but has proven his mettle in tech media with his quick wits. Well, the portfolio of scriptwriting, web content, and public relations help too, we suppose. As a homebody, he often spends his time on the streaming platform Twitch or ‘farming’ gaming clips with friends. He is also an avid fan of round glasses and anything relative to blueberries.
